" A dockmate is wearing me out
" A dockmate is wearing me out physically and mentally with the following problem with his boat. Boat motor starts easily and runs excellent for 10-15 minutes at cruise speed. When motor reaches a normal operating tempature it starts to stall, sputter, loses power and will not run at much more than idle speed. Boat is not overheating but problem increases as outside tempature increases. Boat then is hard to start as starter only spins engine one or two revolutions before spinning free/loose. When ?motor?, ?electrical?, ?fuel system? cools off the boat runs fine again for 10-15 minutes. Recent components replaced trying to pinpoint problem include: Plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, coil, alternator, battery, fuel filter, fuel tank inspected and vent was cleaned. We have not replaced fuel pump as fuel delivery seems OK. I will thank you in advance for specific topics to consider such as vapor lock, engine electrical, fuel starvation, demons, curse's, etc. Specific procedures for checking/repairing your idea's are appreciated.
If someone doesn't help us find the problem soon I suggested he consider renaming the boat to: "MAKES NO WAKE" "FOR SALE" "ALWAYS UNDER-TOW" "STATIC DISPLAY" "TOW-TALY UNRELIABLE" "
